This is an ugly ducking from some angles but it also has real character, the French designer seems to have a used the old 2CV as inspiration- lightweight construction, thin seats and almost no centre facia to make a spacious interior.

The large-diameter skinny tyres too, good for economy and ride, but it still handles well because it is a BMW. The interior is a work of art.

It is just pushing all the bad habits of car designers even further: ostentatious surface sculpting, all-over-the-place design details and techno-futuristic tortuous lines.

It is like every square centimetre of the car is trying to be more exciting than the next one. I’m really hoping for an electrical car design that promotes different values (and therefore lifestyles) than swank and high-speed.
